jxl如何为一系列单元格添加边框？

Question

Is there a way to add border to a range of cells, using JXL? Setting border for one cell at a time is quite tedious. Choosing a range of cells and merging them works, but not sure how to set border for a bunch of cells at a time.

Answer 1

using WritableCellFormat

WritableCellFormat cellFormat = new WritableCellFormat();
cellFormat.setBorder(Border.ALL, BorderLineStyle.THIN);
Label label = new Label(col, row, desc, cellFormat);
sheet.addCell(label);

Answer 2

There is a way, by merging the cells first then add border to one cell

sheet.mergeCells(ColumnX, rowX, columnY, rowX);
WritableCellFormat cellFormat = new WritableCellFormat();
cellFormat.setBorder(Border.ALL, BorderLineStyle.THIN);
jxl.write.Label lab11 = new jxl.write.Label(columnX, rowX, "Label", cellFormat);
smrysheet.addCell(lab11);
